Aside from the Redditeur posturing (I know this is going to get a lot of downvotes... UwUšš) their strategy is to deflect (muh whataboutism!!) and to say that they know his streams well enough that they can verify that he's not a pedo? Lol. Lmao even.
First things first, you don't know what someone is like behind closed doors. Survivors of CSE will be the first ones to tell you this (if these people spent even 1/1000th of the time listening to survivors as they do Va*sh...)
But what I want to get at here is that these dorks have transcended the parasocial relationship and they have achieved parareality; they're literally convincing themselves that their consooming of a livestreamed spectacle serves as a viable substitute for reality itself.
The best part about this strategy is how it's completely doomed to failure. Some other highlights:
People are trying to figure out if the "Actually, she's a 6,000 year old demon who was reincarnated into the body of a 7yo so the sexual objectification of the character is, diagetically speaking, not pedo shit" defense is going to land.
People are trying to figure out if sharing the context of the images makes it seem worse, and apparently it is even according to the big man himself (!!)
People are trying to figure out if they should tell critics to look up the images themselves (!!)
People are trying to figure out if the best strategy is to simply disengage and to stop responding when this gets brought up.
This is what happens when you crowdsource your PR management strategy to a bunch of 20-something year old grassphobes.
Wait until you see the 65yo obsessing with morning TV show hosts. Different media, these days delivered almost through the same means, it is the same shit as always.
Feel like this specimen is in between the ābrain and social understanding not developed enough and brain is degeneratingā spectrum to not be following a streamer to this degree but fair enough I guess
It's weird, it's like a religious affiliation. In the same breath as trying to get people to not look like parasocial freaks, he makes himself look like a thousand times more of a parasocial freak for running cover for someone who he clearly believes is a pedo and is attached to despite that.
Why do they feel the need to tie themselves to vaush, you can just be a socialist and not tie yourself at the hip to some pedo loser who happens to support Palestine
